Many scenes that seem inconsequential to the audience and are very easy are actually the crystallization of the hard work of the workers behind the scenes.

For example, some supporting characters pounced, and then punched the actor down.

There seems to be no need to rehearse such a simple play, there is no need to design it.

Such a view is undoubtedly wrong, even if it is such a scene, it still needs to be designed, and it also needs to be carefully interpreted by the leading actors and group actors.

Because the movie has very high requirements for rhythm, such a simple plot, if you don't design it carefully, it may destroy the rhythm of the plot and let the audience play here.

Therefore, not only the action scenes of the starring roles should be carefully designed, but also the action scenes of ordinary group performances and small characters should also have ideas.

For the action directors of the family class, they naturally have no problem with ordinary action scenes.

However, some action scenes with relatively high difficulty still need to use your brain.

So what action scenes are more difficult?

Is it the actor's show off action, or is it a scene where the actor flies around and is supplemented by post-production special effects?

Neither.

Cool and gorgeous actions, such as Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Wu Whale when they were young, can be said to be very good-looking.

This kind of drama can be filmed as long as the leading actor has the strength.

As for post-production special effects, it's even simpler, and the special effects artists will handle it anyway.

What really needs action directors to constantly consume brain cells is a one-to-many group scene.

That is, the actor plays ten or eight scenes by himself.

When we used to watch movies, we often saw a group of little karlas circling around the male protagonist, but they didn't dare to rush up, but one by one, this design is very dramatic.

The audience will think that these villains are stupid and why not go together.

When filming such a scene, in order for everyone to behave very reasonably, it needs to be seriously considered by the action director.

And in this aspect of filming, the family class is the best.

In fact, during the Bruce Lee period, when it was one-to-many, it was still very dramatic, Bruce Lee was fighting one by one, and the others stood by and watched.

It was only when Cheng Long arrived that such a scene really became tense, exciting and reasonable.

When Cheng Long fights with people, most of the shots are still one-on-one, so why doesn't the audience feel that it is a drama?

Because the male protagonist played by Cheng Long will not be fixed in one place.

There won't be a group of juniors spinning in circles behind.

Cheng Long will keep running and create one-on-one opportunities, which is how the God of War of the furniture factory came.

This scene, which our later audience felt was very ordinary, actually shocked action movie lovers all over the world when Cheng Long just performed.

Only then did everyone realize that one-to-many can be so interesting and exciting.

Today's filming is going to shoot this one-to-many fight scene.

In a small room, several action directors were explaining the main points of the action to the actors, and Lee Shengyao sat next to him, listening quietly.

Cheng Long was wearing a leather coat on his upper body, his eyes were serious, and he had already entered the play.

The plot is that the male protagonist has been looking for the gang members who kidnapped his daughter, and on this day he finally found the person, he heard the voice of the person and knew that this person was the one who took his daughter.

According to the theory of the male protagonist, he only has a maximum of ninety-six hours to retrieve his daughter, and once it exceeds ninety-six hours, his daughter will be very dangerous.

He didn't have time to design slowly, so he turned his face on the spot, and in a small room, one against four, four people were on their stomachs.

In Lee Shengyao's previous life, this was a very exciting plot.

At this time, Li Shengyao saw the action designed by action director Zheng Jizhang for Cheng Long, and he immediately frowned.

Zheng Jizhang was probably still influenced by the god of war of Cheng Long Furniture Factory, and designed such a one-to-many action scene to let the actor keep wandering.

But the style of "Hurricane Rescue" is that the male protagonist kills to the end with thunder, and it is others who avoid him, not him who avoids others.

Even if it's a one-to-many, it's easy to beat your opponent.

Li Shengyao then called Zheng Jipalm and Cheng Long over and expressed his thoughts.

Zheng Jizhang is in his thirties, and from a certain angle, he looks a little like Liu Dehua.

He actually worked as an actor in TVB before, but he didn't come forward.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, Lao Zheng Hui later went to Hollywood to develop, and he also became a director himself, directing an action scene.

Of course, not all action actors are Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao.

Zheng Jizhang's movie hit the street without exception.

However, this person is still strong and willing to learn.

At this time, Zheng Jibrown heard Li Shengyao's words, thought about it and said: "Director Li, the actor is a very sophisticated master, he shouldn't be tough, isn't it more reasonable to defeat the opponent with a smarter move at this time?"

Li Shengyao smiled, "Normally, your thoughts are not wrong, but the most prominent thing in this movie is the great father's love, when the male protagonist faces his daughter's kidnapping, most of the time he is rational, but there are irrational times." ”

"In this way, the plot has changed, and it is easier to provoke the audience's emotions, and the handling here, the male protagonist hears the voice of the perpetrator of the kidnapping of his daughter, and he is no longer rational."

Cheng Long sat on the side, got up and patted Zheng Jizhang on the shoulder, "Listen to Director Li, the movie is to stir up the audience's emotions." ”

When Zheng Jizhang heard this, he nodded, "Then we have to redesign the action, and we may not be able to shoot it today." ”

"It's okay, shoot the next scene."

The male protagonist solves the four people in the room, and will leave the room to solve the gang members of the entire small building one by one.

The buildings here are in the style of French houses, and the corridors and corridors are relatively narrow.

After filming, it will be very exciting to watch the finished film, and it will be a fight in a small space.

And when shooting, it's more difficult.

The main difficulty is that these corridors are too narrow to erect stands, let alone lay tracks, moving cars, or rocker arms.

Fortunately, Quentin in 2002, a "Kill Bill" gave a very big inspiration to action movie filmmakers all over the world.

When Quentin was filming "Kill Bill", he used a Steadicam stabilizer, so many strong photographers began to wear dozens of pounds of Steadicam stabilizer and shoot with a camera in one hand.

Shoot smoothly in complex, cramped, many corners of the place.

This is Quentin's contribution to action movies.

I have to say that this guy is a genius, no one else can think of it, but he can come up with a video boss.

"Kill Bill" exploded, and the Steadicam stabilizer began to be used extensively, and now almost every action movie will use the Steadicam stabilizer.

Even at soccer and basketball matches, spectators can see videographers wearing Steadicam stabilizers and running along with the athletes.

It's not a magic technology.

There are dedicated Steadicam photographers on the mainland of Hong Kong Island.

There is also one in the family class, so Li Shengyao naturally invited him.

In the next scene, the photographer needs to stand in front of Cheng Long and shoot Cheng Long one by one to solve those gang members.

Li Shengyao sat on the side, quietly listening to the action directors giving speeches to Cheng Long and the other groups.

Just then, Amanda walked in.

Without her play today, Li Shengyao thought that Amanda was going to Paris for a stroll.

"Why are you here?"

"I wanted to come over and see how they do action scenes, maybe I can learn some."

She looked at Cheng Long and their gestures, and naturally followed.

Li Shengyao smiled and didn't say anything.

Although the four little flowers in Hollywood are far less well-known than the four big flowers, I have to say that they still have a few brushes to make a name for themselves in Hollywood.

All four are at least very dedicated.

Even Christine, who feels very rebellious. Stewart, acting is also very serious, if you want to cut your head, you have to cut your head.

Moments later, filming officially began.

Amanda sat calmly on the side at first, but then she couldn't help but stand up, and she grabbed Li Shengyao's hand tightly.

Hollywood action actors, don't care if it's the governor or Stallone.

Although the muscles are good-looking, whether it is a punch or a leg, the speed of action is not comparable to Cheng Long and Li Lianjie.

It feels like the difference between professional and amateur.

Amanda should have seen some action movies in Hollywood before, but it is definitely not comparable to Cheng Long.

Li Shengyao smiled secretly in his heart and watched quietly.

A scene of a corridor fight was quickly filmed.

Amanda looked excited, "He's really the best kung fu master in the world, he's so fast, I barely saw him punch just now, I've seen some boxing matches, I think he's as fast as a boxer." ”

Li Shengyao smiled.

Cheng Long and Li Lianjie can't compare with boxers, but compared to Stallone, it's much faster.

In the corridor, in the corridor, and in the corner, the group of action scenes was filmed, and it was just time to get off work.

Amanda ran to Cheng Long with an excited face, "Jackie, teach me, I want to learn kung fu from Ling, it's so handsome." ”

Cheng Long heard this and looked at Li Shengyao.

"It's none of my business, it's her to learn."

Li Shengyao shrugged his shoulders and continued: "You can teach a little bit casually, squatting and stepping, or a straight hook."

Cheng Long shook his head, pointed at Li Shengyao, and said to Amanda: "You can find him, he is also a kung fu master."

Amanda looked at Lee Shengyao in surprise.

Cheng Long suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said to Li Shengyao: "Director Li, you are a practitioner, if you don't appear on the camera with skills like you, it will definitely be a big loss, you should play a cameo role."

Li Shengyao thought about it and thought it was okay.

"No problem, but I haven't figured out what the plot is, and if I were to appear in Paris, it would be very abrupt."

"You can appear in the memories of the male protagonist, you are his former teammate."

Li Shengyao thought about it and thought it was okay, and a few shots flashed the actor's awesome resume when he was young.

Of course, this is a small matter, and you can shoot in a beautiful country.

"Big brother, let's stop here today, let's eat first, there will be something in the evening."

I have to be interviewed by a TV station tonight, and Li Shengyao and Cheng Long will both go over.
